Suburbanites embrace anti-Trump resistance before No Kings protests, saying, ‘This is our fight’
Suburban communities in the US are increasingly joining the anti-Trump resistance, with many residents participating in protests and activism. The growing movement could impact the 2024 elections and reshape the Democratic Party, with a focus on progressive candidates and issues.
In suburban New Jersey, residents like Allison Posner are leading the charge against President Trump. Posner, a mother of two, has become an activist, handing out food and diapers to immigrant families and participating in protests. The No Kings protest march is expected to draw thousands of people, including Posner and her family. The suburbs are becoming a key battleground in the anti-Trump resistance, with many residents who were previously uninvolved in politics now taking action. Indivisible, the activist organization behind the No Kings protests, reports that roughly two-thirds of the planned demonstrations will be held outside urban areas. The movement could have significant implications for the 2024 elections, potentially costing Republicans control of Congress. In New Jersey's 11th District, Democratic candidate Analilia Mejia is running on a progressive platform, with the support of activists like Posner. The district, once a Republican stronghold, has shifted sharply towards the Democrats in recent years.
